Exceptional Savings: Nauru Unveils Exclusive Anniversary CBI Discount

The Republic of Nauru has introduced a temporary reduction to its citizenship contribution amount to mark the first anniversary of its investment programme. Applicants who file before the end of 2026 will pay USD 25,000 less than the standard contribution figure, bringing the entry point for a principal applicant down to USD 90,000.

What is Included in the Nauru CBI Discount

The discount applies to the contribution component of the investment. Application fees, due diligence fees, and bank charges remain unaffected.

The offer became effective on 3 February 2026 and applies to all current and new applications filed before 31 December 2026. Applications submitted after this date will revert to the standard contribution amount.

• USD 15,000 for each sibling of the principal applicant or the spouse

How Does the Nauru Treasury Fund Use CBI Contributions?

Contributions collected through the ECRCP are directed to the Nauru Treasury Fund. The funds support projects tied to 

• Economic Diversification, 
• Infrastructure Development 
• Climate Resilience. 

This positioning distinguishes the programme from other options in the sector by tying the investment to a defined national resilience agenda.

Nauru Citizenship Processing Time and Procedures

Nauru citizenship by investment programme retains its published processing timeline of three to four months from submission to citizenship approval. This places Nauru among the faster options in the sector and is a factor that continues to attract applicants who value speed alongside cost.

At Karibi Consultants we guide applicants through document preparation, submission, and biometrics, and can manage the file end-to-end.

Who Should Consider This Opportunity

First, individuals seeking a second citizenship at a more accessible total cost will find Nauru especially competitive during this offer period. Compared to other citizenship-by-investment programs, it sits at the lower end of the pricing spectrum, while still offering a streamlined and efficient process, typically completed within 3 to 4 months.

In addition to Bedoon residents in Kuwait and stateless individuals who do not hold a recognised nationality, the programme offers a documented route to a passport and legal citizenship through a single, defined application process. 

Nauru does not require residence or physical presence at any stage of the application, removing a practical barrier that other pathways impose on applicants without established travel documentation. 

Nauru Discount Deadlines and How to Apply

The reduction is available from 3 February 2026. It remains open for applications filed before 31 December 2026. Because the offer window closes at year’s end, applicants should factor in preparation time for documentation, source-of-funds evidence, and due diligence submissions to remain within the cut-off.

Files submitted late in the year without complete supporting evidence carry a higher risk of returning to the standard contribution figure. Early planning with an authorised agent is the practical safeguard against this outcome.
